History
Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been producing bourbon whiskey using traditional methods for more than two centuries. In tribute to the mighty buffalo and the rugged, independent spirit of the pioneers who followed them, the distillery created this signature Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The distillery's location and Kentucky's distinctive climate—with its hot summers and cold winters—contribute to the whiskey's unique character, allowing optimal interaction between the spirit and the charred oak barrels during maturation.
